Swimming modes affect dive durations in diving birds
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Dive duration and body mass are positively correlated across air‐breathing vertebrate species, but other factors affecting dive duration are inadequately studied. Here, we examined the effect of a previously overlooked factor, swimming mode, using phylogenetically informed statistics with data on the diving capabilities of 53 species of avian divers ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 3, March 2026.1. The skull features a broad, dorsoventrally flattened frontal region articulating with an elongated upper jaw that is complemented by the mandible's downward bend along its proximal half. 2. The low mechanical advantage in the mandible is attributed to the reduced and shallow insertion areas of the adductor muscles, which are positioned close to the ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Waterfowl hunting plays a complex role in the conservation of waterbird populations. While hunting can provide conservation benefits, excessive or unregulated hunting may threaten waterbird populations, particularly for species with declining numbers or high sensitivity to human disturbances.

Avian influenza overview December 2025–February 2026
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Between 29 November 2025 and 27 February 2026, 2514 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (406) and wild (2108) birds in 32 countries in Europe. Albeit still at high levels after the peak was reached at the beginning of the current reporting period, the weekly number of detections has since ...

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic relationships in Anatidae
Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014 Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) has been used as a powerful marker in a variety of phylogenetic studies. According to studies of bird species, the 694-bp sequence of the mitochondrial gene encoding COI is extremely useful for species identification and phylogeny.

eBird Data Highlight Shifts in Wetland Resources Structuring Waterfowl and Shorebird Abundance
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Wetland losses in the American West, driven by accelerated drying, overlapped multiple shorebird and waterfowl life histories. Trends were indicators of declining availability and increased uncertainty in waterbird habitat networks. Losses were pervasive in semi‐permanent wetlands, with 19%–48% reductions over the past two decades.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We integrated field surveys, DNA barcoding and integrative taxonomy, iDNA, and ecological modeling to resolve the distributions, seasonality, and host use of Haemaphysalis ticks across Hong Kong. Moisture was indicative of adult activity, and iDNA suggested predominant feeding on wild mammals, particularly wild boar and porcupine.
